The purpose of the article is to analyze the linguistic aspect as the main feature of the identity of the Ukrainian nation. Language is a means of forming and becoming a person, his intellect, will, feelings and form of existence. Language is a tool with which you can learn about the world around you. One of the main functions of language is identification. The function of linguistic identification is that language is a means of identification of speakers, that is, a means of expressing their belonging to the community, nation and ethnicity. In the process of national identification, the linguistic self-identification of each individual plays a major role, because it becomes the factor of the consolidation of society and the engine of building a strong, democratic and independent country. According to the concept of state language policy in Ukraine, the statehood of the Ukrainian language is a key factor in the consolidation of Ukrainian society throughout the territory of Ukraine, a guarantee of preserving the national identity of the Ukrainian ethnic group and the state unity of Ukraine. The results of the sociological survey showed that 94.6 consider Ukrainian as their native language and 64.9 speak exclusively Ukrainian; 97.3% of respondents believe that they are fluent in the Ukrainian language. The Ukrainian language is part of the XXI century. as a language that successfully meets the complex, responsible and multifaceted needs of the state and ethno-cultural development of the Ukrainian people, has a functionally dynamic and open structure for further development.
